Two Mexicans brought a burro case into court last. Monday which was so knotty that it took Jnd e Blank, Constable James Hanson Smith, Solicitors Goodwin and Sias and all the Mexican popula- ton of Morenci and Clifton, be- sides the intelligent jury" 10 un- ravel it. The principal feature of the case seems to have been the heavy swearing done on both sides, it being affirmed that whenever either of the alleged proprietors of the burro in question would pluce his hand on ,he good book to swear little. the leaves of the same would crimp and curl as though they were being steamed. The intelligent jury" however, af ter mature deliberation gave the burro, ears and all. to Don Patricio lgnacio Hidslgo Garcia Bernalillo Segundo. be proving to have been the liveiiest and most tenacious swearer.
 Each party to the burro trans action had his followers and sym pathizers, and large sized row was looked for all the evening. The only thing in the way of an unpl-asantness was that an excit- ed Don took d snap shot at another Don who was flying up Main street to get ont of the way of some pre- vious trouble he had had with Don No. 1. Coustahla Smith collared the shooting Don and lodged him in the cooler thence to be taken into the august presence of Judge Blank, there to answer for his frivolltv.

vented a suicide and placed a forger in the
hands of.the pelice. The man was Robert
S. Bullard, alias Ballard. alias Henry c.
Brown, 66 years old, with large, reddish
gray moustache. lie was dressed in dark
clothes and straw hat. In one of his hands
he held a razor, and he was meditating about
ending his wretched life. A street mission
airy thrust the following tract into his hands.
"Come now and let us reason together, saith the
Lord though your sins be as scarlet, they shall
be as white as snow; though they be red like
crimson, they shall be as wool.-Isaiah 49,"
Bullard put up his razor, went to police
headquarters and surrendered himself He
told the chief he was wanted in Boston,
Baltimore, Washington and other cities for
forgery. and here for larceny. In relation to
the latter admission, he said that in March
last he robbed a boarding house of a lot of
clothing, which he pawned. Chief Wood
believed that the man was demented. but
concluded to send detective to the board
ing house. That official found the statement
correct as to the robbery. Bullard was then
searched and placed in cell, In his posses
sion were found checks on different banks
and numerous letters Of recommendation.
After being placed in the cell, Bullard
chatted freely about his career. He said
that he was born in Greenville, Miss. Prior
to the war he owned a large plantation and
numerous slaves. The close Of the rebellion
left him penniless. Then he turned his at
tention to the study of medicine, but never
practiced. His father-in-law was man of
considerable means. Five years ago Bullard
turned forger. His first offence was commit
ted in Boston. He forged bank slip, cred

then formed the acquaintance of a real es-

NEARLY DROWNED.
A Mishap to tho Navigator Of an
indian Canoe.

BAR HARBoR, Aug. 23.-Robert w. Rid
die of Philadelphia, brother Of Mrs.
Thomas A. Scott of Philadelphia, was saved
from drowning at Bar Harbor yesterday by
Captain Bunce and Lieutenant Pendleton of
the United States man-of-war Atlanta Mr..
Riddle, who is well known in Philadelphia
society, where he is very popular, is hand
some young man with a tall athletic figure,
and is very fond of out-of-door exercises. He
has the misfortune to be a deaf mute caused
by seriaus illness when child, but talks
rapidly and brightly by means of pencil and
paper. The accident which came very near
costing him his life occurred while he was
out canoeing, the frail craft overturning
while he was far out in the harbor, some dis
tance beyond the Atlanta, which lies further
from the shore than other ships in the
squadron. There was brisk breeze, and as
soon as the canoe upset and Mr.. Riddle was
away, leaving him struggling and endeavor-
ing to attract attention by splashing, for he
was unable to shout for help. Another gen.
tleman, whose name has not been ascer-
tanned, was padding canoe near the spot,
and approached the struggling man, but
would not go near enough to allow him to
touch the canoe, which would have certainly
been instantly upset. The man, however
had not enough common sense to call for
help, and Mr.. Riddle was rapidly losing his
strength, as the water was intensely cold,
and he was becoming numb from its effect.
BY this time officers on the quarter deck of
one or two of the men-of-war had noticed
the drowning man and boats were ordered
away to the rescue. Captain Bunce and
Lieutenant Pendleton we're returning to the
Atlanta in the captains gig and noticed the
boats putting off from the men-of-war. The
captain quickly saw the reason, and the sail
ors giving away with will, the gig soon
reached Mr.. Riddle. who was fished out just
as he was sinking He was insensible, and
it was long time before he was brought to
and sufficiently restored to be sent on shore.

FOR COMMERCIAL UNION.
A Monster Political Meeting at Cape
Traverse.
Especial to the Press. !

HALIFAX, N. S., Aug. 23.-A monster po-
litical meeting was held at Cape Traverse,
P. E. l., today. to advocate commercial un-
ion with the United States. There was
large gathering of both parties. The princi-
pal speech was made by Hon. L. II. Dovees,
M. P, leader of the Liberal party on the ISL
and, in which he denounced in unmeasured
terms the incapacity of Sir John MacDon-
AIDS government in its management of the
fishery question, and charged the govern
ment with stealing 100000 out of the public
treasury with the wilful and deliberate in
teRtion Of debauching the people of Canada
at the recent elections. He defined CONNER
cial union to mean uniform tariff over
North America, the customs receipts to be
pooled and divided. He advocated this in
preference to unrestricted reciprocity, which
he said, meant that with perfect free trade
between the two, each country should retain
power over its own customs. He divided
Canada and the United States into four great
divisions, the trade of each one of which
would naturally be mutual and beneficial if
commercial union was adopted. He protest
ed that he was loyal, but said he wanted to
live under the flag of the country which
would give him the best living. In conclud-
ing, he called upon the carriers of the banner
of the Liberals of the provinces of Canada,
to sound the key note of the commercial
union agitation. Five-sixths of the members
from the island in the Canadian Parliament
are commercial unionists.
